Iggy went on auto pilot, too, sounds like. :)<br /><br />One of the things I remember after the tornadoes was getting my mom to give up her drawer of candle stubs and old candles. (She loved candles and we had a lot of them.) I took them up and down the block from house to house and gave them and books of matches away to people who needed them. We didn't have electricity for about three days, as I recall--and they wanted everybody to stay home. I swear giving does more for the giver. I remember how blissfully happy I was when somebody was so delighted with those small gifts and really needed them. Ahhh! That is what life is all about. :):)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-73804953900249292902010-12-27T19:51:02.825-06:002010-12-27T19:51:02.825-06:00Amazing life experiences, Rita!

I'm not quite sure what to think of a lot of this, myself. :):)<br /><br />Sounds like you had a nice Christmas. Karma and I did, too. Give Chance a good ear scratch from me. I always read your blog, even if I don't comment every time.

If you had time to "think" about it at all, I bet you would never have done it, right? ROFL! Hugs back, Kindred! :)<br /><br />Barbara--Hope you had a nice Christmas Day, too! And brought Nina a carrot--hehe! :)<br /><br />AliceKay--Goodness! It wasn't very miraculous. Just takes small things to comfort and often I think people are more receptive to accepting help in a crisis when they are kind of knocked off balance, you know? We are all in this together. ;) Hope you had a serene Christmas, Lady. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-20021243495726788662010-12-25T17:52:27.645-06:002010-12-25T17:52:27.645-06:00You sure have some very interesting stories to tel...You sure have some very interesting stories to tell of your life. That tornado sounds terrifying to me. What you did for your friends and the strangers in the hallway afterwards was something miraculous. You certainly have a "gift".

I pictured the ...The tornado story was remarkable. I pictured the movie poster of the little girl with things whirling around her... I can't remember the title.. Firestarter? or maybe one of the Omen series.. anyway... so surreal. Tornadoes are the ultimate "random" hit-or-miss freaks of weather.<br /><br />I think I found a "kindred" soul - I was working at my dad's foundry one day - my younger brother was repairing a compressed air line/valve. He forgot to turn off the compressor though, and the valve was stuck - the room he was in was full of very fine burnt foundry sand - almost like coal dust... and he whacked the valve with a pipe wrench in disgust when it wouldn't turn... and broke it clean off the pipe.<br /><br />200 psi of air started blasting into the room - and within a second - you could see nothing - it was like a heavy black fog. I heard him yelling and screaming - and just calmly walked into the malstrom and from memory - turned off the air compressor. It took days to get clean again - it took forever to explain to him how I had done it (basically I said, "something came over me.. and I just did it.")<br /><br />:)<br /><br />Have a glorious Christmas Eve! and here is a hug for an swede... :)Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.com
